I was wondering when there was going to be a thread about this. Anyway, looks like a kick-ass movie to me.

Although the plot is very cliche it'll be interesting to see THE ARROW kick ass. I wander what the body count of this film will be.

Pain Killer looks very cool indeed. While we've seen this story a few times before, I have a feeling that it will be told in an entertaining way. By "entertaining," I mean "really fucking violent." Kick mass quantities of ass, Arrow!

This would be the greatest movie ever if there's a scene with Arrow throwing someone into the windshield of an oncoming car, especially if said car is filled with old ladies on their way to Bingo.

Oddly enough The arrow looks like another character in a PC Game called "PainKiller"

I actually thought the movie might have been based on the game at first.

Ah, I've been looking for this thread. :)
Won't stay long (the Horror forums aren't my usual turf, and there's scary stories about what happens to the uncareful who wander here ;)), but just wanted to say congrats -- several times.
I gotta tell ya, I got high hopes for this. Sure, some'll say the plot's been done before, but these movies are more in the "how" than in the "what", and with Arrow in the lead AND having co-penned it, I'm sure it'll have plenty of good times. At least I expect it will, don't know what's planned with the release et al., but I'll be looking to see it. If you need someone to stake out film festival showings and cheer, call me up. ;) Until then, I'm following the diary updates every day.
Truth is, any time I personally hear or read someone mention Arrow, they also mention how hard-working the man is, and if there's anything deserving of a break or two, that'd be it. Don't know how this one'll turn out, but I'm sure it'll get all the hard work in the world, and with that it can only turn out good.
Oh, and...
a) Sweet tagline.
b) Working with a director who once worked with Jenna Jameson, Ginger Lynn, Taylor Hayes and Chasey Lain? Cha-ching! ;)

Yeah, I have a feeling that the execution will override everything else. Arrow knows what we want to see. He's one of us, after all.
I'm loving the diaries. I read so much about the strife that goes with filmmaking, but it doesn't faze me. If anything, hearing about all of the obstacles one must face in "the business" only intensifies my desire to get out there and make a movie.

That's another thing I dig about the synopsis. Arrow's character gets shot in the head with a crossbow. I find that part of the synopsis sweet as hell -- like a little funky private joke.

It's funny. At first I thought it was absurd that someone could actually survive an arrow through their head. But then I read, it was either in Arrow's diaries or the directors, can't remember, that he actually explained that it is possible or something like that.
Anyway, hopefully this will have a lot of hard core, over the top action scenes. One of those movies where you just shut your brain at the door and go along for the ride.
I hope this gets a theatrical release and doesn't go straight to DVD.

Yeah, I actually wondered about the plausibility of that, and went on the Internet to look into it right after I read the synopsis for the first time, and yeah, turns out it's possible. :)
And even if it ain't...it's gory, it's original, I'm game. :)

It'll be kind of funny/strange to see a movie that stars the Arrow and even has Joblo in it. :D

Hey guys!
I'd like to take the time to say thanks for the overall support! Its nice to hear! The shoot has been tough on me physically and mentally...
Read all about it daily here:
www.joblo.com/arrow/painkiller
...but its been a freaking blast! I saw some rushes yesterday and one thing is for certain...its gonna be FUCKING VIOLENT...we got some great shit and I'm a 99.9 percent that we will have two cuts at the end of all this...one R (to make our money back distribution wise) and one Uncut (for the all the gore fiends that like it straight up). I'm very happy so far!
Back to the grind I go!
later!

I think from the pics, synopsis, and the mention that two guys with baseball bats are going to take on a SWAT team points to limited or straight to video.
Regardless though, this is the biggest production arrow's been in, at least I think. . . anyways, got to be nice and exciting. And joblo producing, wonder if that's a new thing he's starting up -producing flicks. Man, the resident reviewers are slowly but surely making their way into the big leagues. Just don't forget about us when you two get there! ;)

Perhaps we should all chip in and get Arrow a gift when the movie wraps. I'm thinking an eight pound bag of sugar. :p
All the production photos look really snazzy, and the journal descriptions are much appreciated. I've been reading Arrow's and the director's off and on. Do you know anything about distribution yet? Hopefully this will make it out to a video store near me.
Oh - if Devereaux is still hanging around could you let him know that $lashers is one of my all time favorite horror films? :cool:
Best of luck finishing up. Remember: on-set drama = bad, gunfire = good. :D

Here's my belated 'Congratulations' to Arrow. Anyone who has Cobra listed as one of their favorite movies (oh and a big thank you for giving this flick the respect it deserves) is without a doubt going to create an action flick that's right up my alley. I can't wait to see Pain Killer and all the delicious violence it has in store for us. Also keep up the cool work with the production diaries, I'm really enjoying those (hint: next time try snorting powdered milk or dried baby formula, I hear it goes down much smoother then sugar :p)

Well seeing as how this is being shot on DV and at 30fps (29.9 actually) I'm pretty sure it's straight to video.

Wow! You mean a low-budget movie shooting in Montreal without any of Hollywood's big bucks or special effects -- basically a guerilla-filmmaking operation -- doesn't look like the cream of the crop? No real surprise there.
How's about you cut the flick some slack and wait to see it once it's chopped up, slapped together, given a soundtrack and all the fun stuff that makes a movie...a movie...? :)
To everyone else, thanks for the positive remarks! I was on set for a couple of days and can definitely say that it will be the film's cool-ass violence, dialogue, style and star (yup, that's the Arrow!) that will ultimately set it apart from the rest.
It's a lot of fun. I shot my cameo on Friday and it was a hoot.

So does Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but its cheapness actually enhances its mood and atmosphere. It wouldn't be the same with a polished, more expensive look, as evidenced by the remake. In the case of Pain Killer, it appears to be a down and dirty, take no prisoners, hardcore action flick that Stallone would be doing today if he didn't have delusions of grandeur. IMO, those types of movies benefit from a grittier look. Hell, one of the horror projects I've written demands to be filmed with the dark, grainy, "cheap" look, and I'd go on a murderous rampage if it was made bright and polished.
Basically - "Cheap" doesn't necessarily mean "shitty". Not if you use it to your advantage.

Now that we've all done our claps on the backs and all, can this thread be for discussing our thoughts on the flick?
So does Texas Chainsaw Massacre
You have a point there. And hey, even on such a small budget tcm did awesome with its explosions, gunfire, action . . .
. . . oh wait. . .
Plus, TCM wasn't STV. I can't think of a single stv movie that was any good, liked by anything other than genre diehards. Can you? But then if this movie is good maybe it'll be shown around some, what festivals, right? Regardless, cheapness is a tough thing when you're doing action. That's why, say, red hours, if it goes cheap (crossing my fingers that it won't), wouldn't be hurt than if . . . like fast and the furious went cheap. But then it always amps the cheesiness factor, so depending on the mood, it's all good.

Hahaha, you know that wasn't my point. Smartass :p
What I meant is that both of them, in their respective genres, are going for a gritty, realistic feel as opposed to the polished "Hollywood" look. They aim for different things thematically, but in that characteristic they're alike.
At least... that's the impression I'm getting from PK. Not sure if it's actually the case, but... yeah. I'll withhold any further assumptions until I actually see the finished film.
C-Desecration-
04-27-2005, 03:07 PM
Actually, I didn't know that wasn't your point. I was too fueled by teenage rebellion against the general opinion.
But I was referring to budgets, not the camera or whatnot. It just looked like pk required some pretty huge action scenes, which always eat up budget I assume, so it would be easier to film say TCM with a very, very low budget than an action movie.

04-27-2005, 07:16 PM
A great action film can be made for a low budget(terminator cost around 6 mil). Besides if the director is talented enough and resourceful then a big budget won't be necessary. Also I'd like to add that El Mariachi was made for only 7,000 dollars and although cheap looking, it's quite an impressive film.

It's true that El Mariachi was SHOT for $7000... But the version everybody saw cost a bit over three million. After it was bought it went through a huge transfer, fixing up the image and sound.
Although, I'm definately not trying to be negative about this, I think it's fucking fantastic. As others have mentioned, not only does John seem like one of funnest, chillest, most down to earth cats around, but he also seems like the hardest working guy I've ever had the pleasure to idolize. As a fellow Candian trying to break into the industry with some ball-busting genre work, I realize how hard it actually is to get something produced... And just because someone claiming to be an"insider" shows interest in a project, doesn't mean it won't be trapped in development hell for years...
I give all the props in the world to John for seperating himself from all the talkers and actually doing something himself. Hopefully, not only will this put Arrow on the map, but it will also prove to be the missing link in providing the grounds to get Red Hours back on the fact track. And hey, if PK is successful, Arrow' n' Jo can send a copy to Harry Knowles with a post-it attached reading "no fellatio required". ;)
Again, big ups for having the balls to stop waiting around in hopes of having some bigwigs tell you you can have a career, and actually doing it yourself. It truly is inspirational.
P.S - Sorry I'm a bit late, seeing as how I think the shoot is almost over, but better late than never.

Yeah, but if I read my Rodriguez right, that 7-grand included film, which costs the skin off your testies, and seeing how this one is shot on DV, that's money you can spend on something else.
Plus, with what you can do these days with computer editing and effects, at a reasonable price, you can shave some of the smaller costs, and when you add all those savings together, it amouns to a nice sum. And Rodriguez couldn't do that at the time.
I honestly think an action flick can be pulled off on a low-budget and look like it cost more than it actually did. I'm looking to shoot a flick next year, which isn't exactly "action", but which'll be low-budget but I hope will look more expensive than it actually is, and the way I'm preparing it, I really think it can be pulled off. Seeing how Arrow and Viel have way more experience than a young dude like me, I'm sure they can pull it off just fine.
XvoorheesX
04-29-2005, 11:17 AM
I agree, I think they'll be able to pull off something that will at the very least please the hardcore genre fans. But as much as I klike Robert Rodriguez, I know that his "indie prophet" moniker is complete and utter bullshit.
- $7000 got Rodriguez a 3/4" master tape of the movie and that's it. It paid for film stock, processing, trasnfer to video, and a couple of props. Columbia put in over three million to get a 35mm print made. And that's the clean, pretty version that everybody saw.
- Rodriguez constantly says all you need to do is make a movie, get it seen, then people will buy it, you'll have a career like his, and then eventually the indies will take over Hollywood... Or something like that. Let's stop at the "get it seen" part. Does anybody here know how ridiculously hard that is? You may be able to get it into a festival, but that won't do much for you. There are thousands of film festivals. Can you get it into the big three? To actually get it seen by someone who can get it distributed, you're going to have to get referrals. Hollywood is based on relationships, having friends in the right places. Something Rodriguez has failed to mention again and again is that the state film commissioner of Texas gave him a referral to International Creative Management, the second largest talent agency in the world. So, unless you have a friend that can set you up with Hollywood bigwigs, nobody will see your movie.
- Rodriguez said that all you need to know about filmmaking you can learn in ten minutes (he was tricky about all the other stuff he lies about, but anyone who actually believes that should be shot). Something Rodriguez doesn't try to hide, which, with any common sense you could see the contradiction, is that Rodriguez had made over 200(!) films by the time he was nine years old(!). That's experience more valuable than all the film schools and PA jobs in the world. So, with literally decades of practice and experience, he tells people that after only ten minutes, and a bit of passion, they can make a movie like his. I actually volunteered on a feature film where this was the director's FIRST film ever. He hadn't even made any short films with his friends. His script wasn't even formatted correctly, he couldn't frame a shot, didn't know what shutterspeed was, didn't know what a light meter was, and felt the need to pack every camera trick he knew into every single shot. After the first day (okay, ten minutes) every single person on the set, including actors, knew that this guy didn't have a clue what he was doing. But when faced with a challenge, he'd go on a rant - "Robert Rodriguez this, ten minute film school that, $7000 blah, blah, fucking blah. Now, three years later, he's got a $6000 dollar coaster. He'll never have good credit for the rest of his life, let alone the chance to make another movie (like another of his famous indie-auter heroes, he financed the movie on credit cards).
I think Rodriguez had made some kickass movies, and I think he's a great director. I aslo think that Viel and Fallon can make a great movie too. But you have to be incredibly naive to fall for that "rebel without a crew" bullshit. All that stuff has gone on to make Robert Rodriguez one of the most talked about filmmakers of the last decade or so, but it's a gimmic. Unfortunately, lots of people listen to him, try to make a film, and then fuck up royally because they actually believed what he says and writes.

Not contesting that. Well, not exactly -- I do think that with some experience, commitmment, hard work and good ideas, you can pull off a low-budget movie that'll get seen and talked about. I'm not talking MARIACHI style, because as you pointed out that takes relations and then an added influx of extra money, but I do definitely think a solid, low-budget movie can get your name out there, and starting THERE you can make the relationships you need. It's slower and less self-made-hero than the way Robert Rodriguez tries to showcase it, but to me that's really the vibe of what the man is saying. And it doesn't bother me all that much -- to me, a lot of people overcomplicate what it takes, so that one guy would oversimplify it, doesn't bother me all that much. But yeah, agreed, and this coming from someone who loves the REBEL WITHOUT A CREW book and "myth", it's definitely an oversimplification of what it took and an overglorification of the "indie, cheap and on your own" part of it.
That not being the real point, all I'm saying is what we both agree on -- even lo-budg', you can pull off a movie that'll get showcased in a couple festivals, please a few hardcore fans, get your name out, get mentioned on the Internet here and there, and so on. And I personally honestly think that if you can manage that part right, then it does open up a bunch of doors for you -- that's how it happened for a lot of currently A- or B-list directors. It's a slower route than the fantasized MARIACHI one, but to me, it's still a pretty darn good start, and knowing how Arrow knows how tough this business is, I'm sure he'd be more than happy with getting that too (although I'm not speaking in the man's name here, just a guess :)).

Are you sure the original title of the film wasn't , " A day in the life of Arrow " ?
Yeah , this def looks like it's going straight to video , but that's not a bad thing , the important thing is that they got it made in the first place , and it should lead to other work for John Fallon , with bigger budgets , but no way is this getting some wide relase , possibly a limited release in select theaters , that could happen , but it doesn't look like it .
It's just going to be cool to see Arrow do his little thing for 90 minutes , it def looks like cheesy fun with a bit of attitude .
I do agree it was wise for him to take matters into his own hands and make a film on the cheap , instead of waiting around for some studio to finance him , that's what people have to do sometimes to get rolling . I think this guy could be going places , he seems to have that screen presence thing happening , and he looks cool in a leather trenchcoat .
I'm not expecting anything spectacular , just some low budget goodness . Looking foward to it .
By the way , are there any zombies in this thing ? :)

Hey guys and dolls, just wanna say thanks for the support I've gotten from this thread. Every morning before hitting the set I would read up and dig on it.
To answer a couple of questions:
-We're aiming for a straight to DVD release.
-We're aiming for worldwide distribution.
-We already have distributors sniffing around, which is good...I'm not worried.
This is a B movie, but one that aims to deliver the goods. Like I told "one man army" Viel, this flick has every type of killing known to man in it, "gore killing", "gun killing", "hand to hand killing", "rocket launcher killing"...lots of killing.
The shoot was rough but overall great. This was the biggest part I ever had acting wise and Viel shoots fucking fast (12 days for a feature that's nuts), so I had to be on the ball while wearing many hats (Producer, writer, actor and jack-off). Tag to that the occasional "drama" on set and you get quite the challenge...having said that I can't wait to do it again. I learned a lot (Viel has me thinking like an editor now) and I had a blast!
So that's it! Just wanted to say gracias! Back to work I go!

I can't wait to watch this movie. It was hard to find the thread for Pain Killer. Everyday I would open up JoBlo, read the headlines, then click for Arrows Daily updates on his movie. The pictures were great. It'll be nice to see a full website deticated for the movie. I will definitely be buying this on DVD, and hopefully be watching it up on the bigscreen. I've seen a few Indie movies being played at one of my Local VERY BIG and nice theaters here in Phoenix, AZ so I'm hoping with the right distribution I'll be able to see it. Wish it would be coming out sooner though.
Great job with it so far. Keep us updated on the Post-Production. Maybe have a teaser trailer down the road. Man I'm all excited now. Whatever you can do to keep us in the loop on the production will be greatly appreciated from us fans!
Btw, how long will the movie end up being approx?

Well, there will be two versions, an R rated one and an unrated director's cut. We are hoping that both will be in the same DVD package. But in the end, these decisions are not made by the filmmakers but the distributors. But to make it different, the R rated version is edited by a different editor who will have carte blanche on his interpretation of the story so that no matter which version you get, you get a truly DIFFERENT take on the story.

It's not really a matter of double dipping so much that we want/have to/need to make our money back and unrated is a sure fire death financially as far as distribution is concerned so we have no choice but to do 2 versions. But ask any decent filmmaker worth his salt and they'll tell you that they'd much rather there'd be one version, their version, preferably unrated because it is bull$hit anyways this ratings thingie...
Sorry if it irritates a few. In the end, we have to survive to make more films.

Hey, I don't blame ya... gotta do whatcha gotta do. I'd prolly be doing the same thing too.
btw, was watching your teasers for your Recon 2020 movie, (I think you have a new big fan now :)) I noticed some T&A in the teasers. Can we expect some from this movie? Not a perve or anything, I just think it would make this movie complete. Action, Gore, and T&A. lol

It wouldn't be an Arrow movie without T&A.
And as I said:

T&A is all part of that.

First of all, amen.

Second of all, amen again.
And I know just one customer doesn't mean much in the big scheme of things -- but I'm there. R-rated version, uncut version, one DVD package or two, you get my money. I'm there. An Arrow movie -- well, that's like your older brother (the one who smuggles booze and strippers in when your mom and dad are out for a romantic dinner) writing, producing, and starring in a movie.
I'm there. I actually printed out that one-sheet you guys made at the local Kinko's (well, not really a Kinko's, we don't have Kinko's in France, but a shop like that), and it's up on my wall next to that red Golden Schmoes poster I printed out last year too.
I'll be there. And seeing how everyone's hyped for this, I don't think I'll be there alone.

I wish this would come out in theaters but of coarse, I'm not surprised it went direct to dvd. Besides, even if it actually did get a theatrical I likely wouldn't get to see it since it probably only would get a limited release.
Do ya know when this will be released on DVD yet or have atleast have an idea? I guess if you don't have distribution yet then you won't know for sure but I had to ask.

Looking foward to Pain Killer alot not seen any of the directors other movies as of yet, dont think they are avaliable in the uk (Samhain coming soon a friend tells me).
Very much looking foward to the Arrows starring role and its good to see someone making their dreams happen by some good old fashioned hard work and persistence.
I will be buying the dvd for sure hope it gets a Uk release if not i will get it region 1 anyway, looking foward to the gore!!!!!!!!

I want to see this movie so bad. I can't wait for it. After reading Arrow's diarys it just seems like its going to be amazing. I love gun violence, and it definitely looks gory. Yay for you Arrow

Very sad to hear about the delay of the website and teaser trailer. As soon as I heard the news of the trailer every time I get on the comp I'll check the site just to see if it's up yet :)
O-well, Friday will hopefully be the day now. Obviously, can't wait!

YAY, the website is finally up! Very happy with it. Love the look. Good information, enough to satisfy.
THE TEASER!!!!!
It's definitely a teaser. I was hoping more of the story but I guess that's what the official trailer is for. The clips were fun, love the shooting and action so far.
The most memorable part for me was the look of Rane, teary eyed looking up. Great job on that part Arrow.
Everything was good up until the end...
2006! damn the distribution people and everything that pushes this release back so far! lol... but it's okay, it'll come soon enough.
Keep up the awesome work though Christian Viel!

Hey Arrow, when you chose that line were you trying to pay some kind of tribute to FREDDY KRUEGER? That is the same line ROBERT ENGLUND used right before killing Alice Cooper in FREDDY'S DEAD. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

For what it is, this is a really exciting and great trailer! It can't be compared with the War of the Worlds trailer :D but it all looks sexy, badass and cool. Love the crying Fallon shot.
The music is also cool, E also expected not only plenty of gore but nudity too! No clothes while having sex people :D
One minor complain though, it's the music fading out at the end, it cheapen the trailer a lot in my opinion, the music should have stopped when the title appear :)
Anyway, lot of luck, 2006 is a long way to go, and let's wish that Red Hours will get going really soon ;)

Hey guys!
I'd like to say thanks to those who gave us constructive feedback on the teaser and for all the support. We're all very excited about PK, although our budget was small, our balls were big...we went all out for this one and Director Viel is almost sicker than I am which is a good thing!
Keep checking the Official Site for more updates!
Cheers guys!
